[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how soon is nanny supposed to start? Did you both sign a contract?

If I were in your situation, I would pay for at least two weeks if I'm not going to use her. You hired her and she is depending upon the pay, so you need to pay her at least for the two weeks notice you would be required (or should) give otherwise. From your previous responses, it seems like you want people to side with you that it's okay to not pay her. No one saw this virus coming, but the fact is you entered into an agreement with her as an employer and she accepted it and stopped looking based upon that decision. Yes, $4,000 per month is a lot to swallow. How would you feel if your employer told you they were going to let you go with no notice when you had accepted a job but not started? Why in the world are you questioning whether she might want do something you want to fire her for before she's even started?

I disagree with PP who said nanny could start doing story time. No new employee can manage a 3-year-old remotely who they've met one time. You will most likely not get 30 minutes of uninterrupted time with a 1 and 3 year old. Remote supervision doesn't make up for live supervision. However, if you do have her do the story time you should still pay the full salary. The best option is to pay her for 2 weeks to socially distance to your standards and then have her start. [/quote]

This.  The nanny could have had another job were it not for the Op.  OP asked the nanny not to travel so she could be appropriately socially distanced.  The nanny acquiesced and Op still doesn’t think she owes the nanny anything.  Op as long as you’re still getting paid, you need to pay this woman a few weeks severance and let her go find someone else who is serious about letting her work.  [/quote]
